Above: Mayon volcano, Philippines: a wonder to wonder at.

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo of the Philippines has been urging local supporters to nominate Mayon volcano as one of the new Seven Wonders of the World (she must be referring to the ‘New Seven Wonders of Nature’), according to a report in the Philippines Inquirer today. Mayon, famed for the perfection of its conical shape and its very high level of activity, is situated in Bicol region in the province of Albay, an area which the Philippine Government is keen to develop for tourism. A local Wonder of the World, even a potentially rather dangerous one, could draw in the crowds.

The market in Wonders of all kinds has been cornered by New7Wonders.com. You can participate in the scrupulously fair and thoroughly representative voting procedure via their web site, once you’ve registered. As of 6 May 2008, 10:00 GMT, the top-ranking volcano on the list of nominees is Fuji, at no. 6. Kilimanjaro is at 45, but otherwise there’s a distinct lack of volcanoes. Volcanophiles who do not consider the entire exercise spurious and futile should probably get busy with their nominations and votes.

One of the nature’s wonders in the Philippines is the Tubbataha Reef an atoll coral reef in the Sulu Sea that belongs to the Philippines. It is a marine sanctuary protected as Tubbataha Reef National Marine Park. The reef is composed of two atolls, North and South Reefs. Each reef has a single small islet that protrudes from the water. The atolls are separated by a deep channel 8 kilometers wide. Over one thousand species, including many that are endangered, can be found at on the reef. These include manta rays, lionfish, tortoises, clownfish and sharks.

where more filipinos spend thier time to unwind

Indeed Philippines we’re blessed with abundant natural resources both beautiful and endearing. In my own eyes nothing could compare to it, and if you would ask me to choose to live between my homeland and a foreign country, I would willingly choose my country of birth. The endless beauty of my native land shows in both man made structural wonders and made by God’s loving hand. True Filipino’s by heart and soul will never forget the majestic Banaue Rice Terraces carved by the hands of the Ifugao’s dubbed as the “Eight Wonder of the World,” the Banaue Rice Terraces start from the base of the mountain range and reach up to several thousand feet high. It is said that their length, put end to end, would encircle half of the globe. Made 2,000 years ago, these rice terraces manifest the engineering skill and ingenuity of the sturdy Ifugao’s. Streams and springs found in the mountains were tapped and channeled into irrigation canals that run downhill through the rice terraces.
